ABOUT THE BREED

The silky Shih Tzu is sweet and playful. He's also got plenty of spunk. He's not afraid to stand up for himself, though he usually gets along nicely with strangers and other animals. The Shih Tzu seems especially to dislike hot weather. The coat of the Shih Tzu needs daily grooming.

Group: Toy
Height: 9 to 10 1/2 inches
Weight: 9 to 16 pounds
Coat: Luxurious, double-coated, dense, long and flowing
Color: All colors
 

Families with small children should always supervise the children when they play with the dog, because although the Shih Tzu is a sturdy dog, his size puts him at a disadvantage.

The coat requires at least a half an hour of grooming per day, which should be a consideration before bringing a Shih Tzu into your home.

The Shih Tzu is a true companion. His happy, out-going and affectionate temperament coupled with his friendly and trusting nature make him a great house pet.

The Shih Tzu is a sturdy, lively, alert toy dog with long flowing double coat. Befitting his noble Chinese ancestry as a highly valued, prized companion and palace pet, the Shih Tzu is proud of bearing, has a distinctively arrogant carriage with head well up and tail curved over the back. Although there has always been considerable size variation, the Shih Tzu must be compact, solid, carrying good weight and substance.
